THE CAUSE
(quoted from the ZNE site here, click for full details)
"In the Spring and early Summer of 2007, the San Francisco Bay Area artistic community's bright future dimmed for an unbearable moment, when we lost two beautiful young women. On April 19, Dublin artist Gina Gabriell suffered the devastating loss of her 19 year old daughter Stevie Christine McMoyler to brain cancer, and on June 15, Danville artist Iva Wilcox suffered an equal devastation when her 17 year old daughter Brianna Lauren Grant died from complications as a result of a very rare disease - MDS - Myelodysplastic Syndrome."
...as a mother, my daughter now only 6 years old, my heart and mind cannot fathom what the mother's of these two very bright, beautiful stars are dealing with. No parent should ever have to outlive their child. Please show your support in any way you can. If you cannot bid on this or any other auction they have listed, which I hope you will with your whole hearts, please do what you can by spreading the words. Banners are available through the ZNE site.
Bidding through Monday only!
This is only one of over 100 items on auction currently. Please bid generously on any one or more of the items to help lend support to the families of these two wonderful children.Earlier this year, 24 artists responded to a caffeinated query that produced a total of 300 FABULOUS pages resulting in three separate Coffee Cartel books. Consisting of 10 pages of caffeine induced creativity by some very talented artists - including Kelli Perkins of Cloth, Paper, Scissors fame - this single copy of the Coffee Cartel is being donated in support of ZNE's Hope Sees a Star fundraiser.
THIS IS THE ONLY COPY OUTSIDE OF THE NINE COPIES OWNED BY THE ARTISTS. THERE ARE ONLY A TOTAL OF 10 COPIES OF THIS BOOK IN EXISTENCE AND NONE WILL BE MADE AVAILABLE EVER AGAIN.
Thank you all for your time and your compassion.
Namaste,
Ria :)

Winter has finally set in. We had our first bout of snow yesterday, and although it wasn't very much, I took Vanessa out to enjoy it...
Stained Glass Window St Mary's Lastingham
Christianity was brought to Britain in the time of the Romans. When the Romans left, invading pagan Jutes, Saxons and Angles drove Christianity out to the remoter regions, where it survived until Irish missionaries reintroduced the faith to England, via Iona and then Lindisfarne. They established a number of monasteries for prayer, worship and teaching. One such monastery was founded here in AD 654, by St Cedd, ten years before the Synod of Whitby.
Whilst the first monastery church in Lastingham was almost certainly wooden, it is known that a stone church was built on this site in 725. However, the earliest parts of the current church, including the crypt, date from 1078.
A parish church since at least 1228, St Mary’s is famous for is unique apsidal crypt. The crypt was built possibly on or near the vicinity of the earlier 7th century structure and is thought to be part of the huge Benedictine Abbey planned by Stephen of Whitby in 1078. Evidence of this proposed abbey can be seen throughout the church structure. But sadly it was never completed, as Stephen abandoned the project, went to York and built St Mary’s Abbey there instead.
A major restoration was carried out in 1879 under the guidance of the eminent Victorian architect, JL Pearson RA, and the transverse arches and magnificent stone vaulted roof date from then.
Yes, I am working on separate projects, one on genre films (Westerns) and another on Aristotle's De Anima.... I enjoy both but sometimes it's hard to switch back and forth!
Rainham Library - due for closure and removal to a new site near the station. In the mid 1990s, I recall giving a slide show on travels in Eastern Germany here to a small and appreciative audience.
Lookin good, I think. Lots of bondo and primer to get to this point. All the major parts are there, but it needs bookoo bits and pieces.

4.One Day - David Nicholls - lighter stuff.
5.Jane's Fame - semi-academic tome about the rise of Jane Austen's popularity.
6. Other people's daughters - study of the lives of Victorian governesses.
7. Jane Austen - An unrequited love - about JA's mysterious love affair that Cassandra, her sister, destroyed evidence of. It was me, I confess.

David Austin's English Rose Graham Thomas. Current garden patio style in San Antonio, Texas. Spring bloom out they have plenty of phosphorus (the P in NPK) to push them on that was applied in late winter giving the plant time to absorb the element. This rose was purchased from The Antique Rose Emporium here in San Antonio. It is on it's own root stock and is now ready to propagate into two very nice plants with 4 canes each. It is wonderful in the spring - but later into summer it will blackspot something terrible. Even then it still puts up many blooms throughout the growing season. The bloom color will vary slightly from a rich orange to a softer orange.

Here's what I ahve been shaving with for the past two weeks? I'm stuck in a rut shaving with these three and couldn't be any happier. I have however, 4 other new to me vintage straights, all shave ready, acquired from other straight razors users that I've yet to use, and one of them I've had probably for a month anyways (okay, I just checked, since 1/7/12), and I told the PO I would get back with him on how his razor worked for me...
Pperhaps he is thinking I went back on my word, since he hasn't heard from me=:-)...nothing could be further from the truth as I have been busy shaving with other razors.
That said, since buying his razor (the Bambola (Rudolf Schmidt) and the other three (Gong, and a couple of other vintage Solingens, all w/7/8's blades, I've acquired three different razor hones and that is where my true interest lies...so I've been busy touching up and using other blades. So many razors, so little time
Okay, for this field, and these razors aren't looking very pretty as they have a bit of patina on them since they're in rotation...the top is my Carbo Netic...a square point 11/16 vintage German originally stamped Kraut & Donhal on the right shank, cow bone schales...IIRC I paid $15 for this razor with shipping (single fleabay auction) and only required a minor clean up and a full hone to get it into shaving condition, & FWIW, the blade centers perfectly, pivot pin is tight...I thanked the seller backwards and forwards after recieiving it
The middle razor is a 6/8 Barber Notched J.R. Torrey w/faux tortoise schales, truly a beautiful razor to use and takes/holds quite the edge. Currently, I have a thurri edge on it
Last but not least is a 11/16 round toe Union Cutlery (Union City GA). this is a diamond in the rough. As came to me along with better than a dozen other razors last summer, it is a plated razor and some of the palting has flaked off here and there. That said, it's one of my most comfortable shavers and probably the single biggest reason I can't put it up. As of late, I'll use it day after day, it's that good, and at the risk of repeating myself, quite comfortable to shave with. Last touched up with Les Latnueses and every bit the BBS King
The station buffet in Disentis in its current form with the kiosk has existed since around 1990. Right on platform 1. But only the Glacier Express trains run there today. From around 1960, the front part with the kiosk was there. It is not known whether it was also a restaurant. Previously, there was a small kiosk from the time when the Rhaetian Railway line was opened in 1912 and in 1926 when the Matterhorn Gotthard Railway began operations. The outdoor seating remains even in winter. For sunny days. Switzerland, January 26, 2025. (1/4)
my Mother would be mortified if she saw this/even knew I was doing it.Somehow that makes this more appealing ,still. You'd think at 42,I'd have outgrown it...but looking at my post....a little more controlled chaos.
My current Jordan collection that I have been accumulating the past 6 months. This will continue to grow.
Our everyday life is can often be described as a flow, that is constantly taking us forward. We pass by places, things and people, leaving our memories and experiences behind and we sometimes don’t have an opportunity to stand up, stop and look around or behind ourselves, to see all the way, all the traces, the inanimate witnesses, that silently remember us passing by. In this photo series I sought to slow down, disconnect myself from the motion and look back, look up and down. I moved to the sides and touched the objects, had a closer look at them, inspected the marks, textures and lines, tried to observe them back and seek for the clues for the stories they had witnessed.

DC Super Hero Girls:
Took out all of Harley Quinn's 'blonde' hair. I was able to leave the blue and red stripes. It will be my first bangs/ponytail combination. The new blonde hair is Cashmere Blonde saran from RestoreDoll.com.
I'm actually rerooting Starfire right now. I'm rerooting her in the hair style of DCSHG but the hair colour from the Teen Titans cartoon. The colour I'm using is Vampire Kiss nylon form DollyHair.com. I may add some more oranges and yellows when I get to the back like the DCSHG cartoon...
[Definitely gonna reroot Blackfire, her sister, when I get her. I am already getting excited about that. They got her hair all wrong and I can't wait to fix it!]
Marvel Superhero Girls:
Rerooting one of my extra Katanas as Black Widow. Not this exact one, but this is the colour I am using. There are going to be so many redheads in this collection, and this is a unique red that I like for Black Widow. It is a blend of Rosewood Auburn and Torch Auburn saran from DollyHair.com. She's gonna have bangs and possibly shoulder length hair. Maybe a little longer. I basically want a mini-ponytail.
I haven't altered this head to fit a DCSHG body yet, but I think I can. This is Jordan from the Descendants line. Rerooting her in Sable Brown saran from DollyHair.com to become Ms. Marvel. She will have partial bangs or some kind of swoop at the front. I definitely want some hair on her forehead.
I'll update you guys as I complete each head. ;)
03-18-1989, Thunder Bay, ON. Robert Bortuzzo is a Canadian professional ice hockey defenceman who is currently an unrestricted free agent. He was most recently under contract with the Utah Hockey Club of the National Hockey League (NHL).
Bortuzzo was picked up by the Kitchener Rangers of the Ontario Hockey League in 2006 after leading the Fort William North Stars of the Superior International Junior Hockey League to a league championship, a Dudley Hewitt Cup, and an overtime away from playing in the 2006 Royal Bank Cup final. Bortuzzo was drafted by the Pittsburgh Penguins in the 3rd Round (78th overall) of the 2007 NHL Entry Draft. He played junior hockey in the Ontario Hockey League for the Kitchener Rangers. In his three years with the Rangers he recorded 49 points and 152 penalty minutes in 138 games. Bortuzzo won the Hamilton Spectator Trophy in his second year as a member of the 2007–08 Kitchener Rangers. On November 5, 2011, Bortuzzo made his NHL debut. Called up from the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins, Bortuzzo was inserted into the Pittsburgh line-up to fill-in for Ben Lovejoy who had broken his wrist the previous game. Bortuzzo was injured during a game against the Philadelphia Flyers on December 8, 2011 due to a hit from Zac Rinaldo. He was out for several weeks with a concussion, but was able to return to action in Wilkes-Barre/Scranton later that season. The 2012–13 lockout-shortened season saw Bortuzzo's role continue to increase on the team, as he was used as a depth defensemen who played in 15 of the 48 games. On February 2, 2013, Bortuzzo scored his first NHL goal against goaltender Martin Brodeur of the New Jersey Devils. The Penguins went on to defeat the Devils 5-1. However, despite the Penguins' lengthy run to the Eastern Conference Finals, Bortuzzo was a healthy scratch throughout the playoffs. In the 2013–14 season, Bortuzzo saw his playing time continue to increase, in part due to rampant injuries among the Penguins defensive core. He played in 54 of the 82 game regular season, recording 10 assists. On April 26, 2014, Bortuzzo played in his first career playoff game against the Columbus Blue Jackets after Brooks Orpik sustained an undisclosed upper body injury in the previous Game 4. He played 13:36 ice time in the game with no goals or assists and was even on plus/minus. On May 5, 2014 Bortuzzo recorded his first playoff point. On March 2, 2015 Bortuzzo was traded by the Penguins to the St. Louis Blues in exchange for Ian Cole. On December 8, 2023, the Blues traded Bortuzzo to the New York Islanders in exchange for a 2024 seventh-round pick. On August 31, 2024, Bortuzzo signed a one-year, two-way contract worth $775,000 with the Utah Hockey Club for the 2024–25 season. Bortuzzo was limited to just 17 regular season games through injury, and contributed with 2 assists.

My current home village. We are having beautiful spring weather these days, perfect for a bike ride into the mountains before the hot and rainy seasons start. However, I am staying at home, wounded, and won't be able to ride for a few months. That's shit. I'm trying hard not to feel sorry for myself.
this is a photo from the middle back seat of the car looking at the dash, clock and radio of what im currently at doing the lights
